Fated Absolution (23 page)

Maddy burst out laughing as did Kyle. Maddy’s laughter was the sweetest sound he’d ever heard.

“You know I was in the middle of something,” Mel told them as she suddenly appeared in the clearing. “A little notice next time wouldn’t be remiss. Hello Maddy, Kyle. I’m so glad you were able to survive these four. Most people go batty only after ten minutes. You’ve been with them for nearly two hours. You should get a medal.”

“Could we get started? Madison Shelby Dixon, it’s time to take your place. Are you ready?” Morrigan stood before her as she asked.

“No. I don’t want it.”

“So now what happens?” Aaron asked Maddy again.

Kyle was lying beside her in the big bed in the MacManus mansion. Mac and Lizzy were on her other side. The entire household and friends were sitting around the room enjoying the last of the pie that Duncan had brought in only twenty minutes before.

“I have a century to be with Kyle, have children, and then we move to the other world where I become the Goddess of Fairies.”

“Is that were you got this, Aunt Maddy?” Lizzy had been eyeing the armband for some time, fingering the design.

“Yes, it’s a brassard. It’s to protect me and to let anyone who sees it know that I am important. Would you like to see the rest of the stuff I got? It’s really cool.” Maddy reached under her pillow and pulled out the items that Morrigan had bestowed upon her when she’d declared her the next in line. Mel had also given her things, as had the Fates. “This is my crown, see the design? It’s the Morrigan cross, I love it. It matches the tattoo that I have, and Kyle has now too.”

That had been a discovery, seeing the tattoo on his chest just over his heart. She reached back now and rubbed the area, sending him warmth and love with her touch.

“This is the ceremony dagger. The Fates used it to seal the bond between Maddy and I, we cut our palms and pressed them together.” Kyle held up is palm and showed the children.

Maddy held hers up as well.

The dagger, like the crown was bejeweled with rubies, emeralds and diamonds. The blade was made of the purest silver, and that was why the wound on their hands had left a scar. The design on the hilt was fashioned to represent the cross.

The most prized items were the rings. Each of them wore one on their right hand. The band was made of gold, pure and gleaming. The black diamond on the top was flat with the crest of the house, the cross etched into it.

The rings held power, power beyond this world and the next. It gave Kyle the ability to be in the sun, to be able to protect Maddy at all costs. It gave Maddy the power to heal, even bring the person back from death if necessary. She’d been cautioned not to use it unless there was no other choice and she would know when that was. The rings could not be removed from their fingers ever. If someone took the finger in an attempt to take the ring, they would die a horrific death. Good to know, Maddy thought with a smile.

After another hour and Maddy yawning about four more times, the room took their leave.

As they were being showed out by Kyle, Bradley stopped him and they had a quiet conversation by the door.

“What was that all about?” Maddy moved back to the bed, having come from the bathroom when he’d shut and locked the door.

“Bradley wanted to tell me something. You don’t need those on” he told her when she had pulled on a tee shirt and panties to wear to bed. “I’m just going to take them off you again.”

The loose fitting cotton clothes suddenly felt too tight.

“I’m really tired. It’s been a long couple of days.” She had no intentions of not making love with him tonight, but the game was on. She moved closer to him, inches from him touching him with her body.

“Hummm, it has at that. Maybe I should go sleep elsewhere and give you some peace.”

Kyle ran his fingers down her arms and back up again. He tilted his head slightly as he looked at her.

“I…I don’t want to make you give up your bed. Maybe I should leave you to your peace.” She stepped closer now, her erect nipples brushing against his shirt. Her breath caught at the sensation.

“Madison, you try and leave this room before I’m fully sated, and I’ll hunt you down and take you wherever I find you. That’s a promise.” She could feel his breath on her mouth, the heat of it making her dart out her tongue and moisten them.

“Kyle, what did Bradley want?” It hurt to breathe, so she began panting. It didn’t help, now she could taste him as well as smell him. She moved closer still, her mouth so close to his, she could feel the heat from it.

“He told me you were ovulating, that if we wanted to, that we could conceive tonight.”

His lips brushed hers, just barely touching hers.

“Do you? Do you want me to carry your…” He pulled her to him, crushing her body against his leaving no doubt as to his desires.

“Madison, I want to make love to you. I want to bury my seed deep into your belly, and create a child with you. Is that what you want too?”

For an answer she stepped back from him and removed her tee shirt. Taking his hands in hers, she cupped them over her breast and moaned deeply in her chest. He leaned over her and took one hard peak into his mouth and gently nibbled. When she cupped the back of his head and pulled him closer, arching her back so that he could take more into his mouth, he opened his mouth wider and pulled more of it into his mouth.

“Please, Kyle. More, I need more.” Her body hummed with need. Need for him to be inside of her and her need to take him as well.

He pushed her back toward the bed and when her calves touched the mattress she sat back on the bed. Then she lay back as he dropped to his knees before her. She felt her pussy wet and soak her panties.

“Open your legs for me, I want to taste you. I need to taste you, Love.” Opening her legs she felt him move deeper between them.

He watched her watch him as he leaned down to her heat, and she thought she’d never seen anything so sexy in her entire life. When he bit into the silk that covered her mound, she felt her heart rate pick up, her blood thicken in her veins.

The panties tore away without much effort and she lay before him completely exposed.

Maddy moved her hips, undulated them in a way that opened her tender lips to have her clit reveled to him. She watched him flick his tongue and taste her. Moaning deep again, she watched as he lifted her thigh and ran kisses along the inner muscle, nipping gently with his teeth. He touched one finger to her core, and then slid it inside of her, deep, curving it inside to touch her sweet spot. She creamed on his hand.

“I want to drink from you here, the taste of you feeding me and coming in my mouth is delicious.” She noticed his voice was hard, gravely and low. As his mouth lowered to her, she tilted her hips to meet him, to give him what he wanted.

His tongue tunneled into her and darted in and out quickly. Her body responded by riding him, moving up and down in time with his fingers, three of them now, inside of her with is mouth suckling her clit. She reached up and cupped her breast and tugged at her nipples, pulling hard and twisting them, imaging his mouth doing this to them.

“Kyle, please…please, I need you…I need to come.” She began pushing harder against his mouth, her cream and juices soaking the cover beneath them. When she felt him pull away, his fingers pumped harder faster, she knew what he was going to do. “Now, Kyle, now!”

His fangs sank into her mound, deep, and drawing his first sip of her into his mouth, her blood hot she came. Reaching down she grabbed his hair and held him close, closer as she continued to flood him with her essences and blood. He sealed the wound with a flick of his tongue, her body still writhing with pleasure. Crawling up her, fisting his cock hard in his hand, he suckled her breast into his mouth and bit her again, his teeth sinking into her nipple as he slammed his cock into her wet heat. Sucking hard he pumped into her, driving his cock deep, the painful pleasure sending her over the edge again, then again, screaming his name.

Without sealing the bite on her breast, he moved up to capture her mouth; Maddy could taste herself on his lips, on his tongue. She wanted to return the pleasure, to bite him, to drink from him. She felt the first pull of her gums, the stretching of her teeth and knew that she could.

Nuzzling his neck, as he was hers she licked at the franticly beating pulse, opening her mouth wider, she sank her new fangs deep, deep into him and drank.

She felt him buck against her clit as her teeth slid in, felt his body jerk in response to her sucking her first taste of him. His cum jettisoned into her, deep and hot. When she felt him bite her throat, her world exploded, her climax gripped her so tightly and so completely that her heart stuttered to a stop and she screamed against his neck. Licking the pulse and the bite closed she wrapped her body around him and held on as the last of his tremors moved through him, his cock pulsing into her long after he had finished.

“I have an appointment with Mr. Sherman Schaller, please.” Maddy had gotten up around noon today three weeks after the incident with her brother. Only to have Duncan tell her that she had had three urgent calls from Schaller and Schaller for her to call them back. She had been asked to come by the office as her earliest convenience. She’d made arrangements to be there at three thirty.

“Please have a seat Ms. Harm. Mr. Schaller will be right out.” Bimbo number sixteen was gone and in her place was an older efficient looking woman with no nonsense clothing and hair style.

“It’s Dixon, not Harm. I’m married.”
I suppose I should get used to saying that
she thought to herself, with a dopy grin on her face.

“Mrs. Dixon, congratulations and thank you for coming in.” She hated that he had been the first to call her that, but got a thrill out of it all the same.

“Mr. Schaller. What can I do for you, if this about the breach of contract, then we—”

“Oh no, nothing like that, no not at all. I wanted to know if you’d consider coming back to work for us. I have heard that you are doing great things with B.A.C.K. Incorporated and wanted to bring you in as a full partner. This time with much better benefits and pay of course.”

One of the perks that she had gotten was the new ability to read minds. And while she wasn’t comfortable using it, she’d practiced some at home this morning with Sara and Duncan before coming to this appointment. She applied it now.
Oh my
, she thought.

He wanted her to become a full partner all right, but the vamp/were project would be her only client,
‘no since in giving her anything else’
, he’d thought,
‘being a woman she’ll just fuck
it up royally’.
She also learned that he had the last property in the area, paying less than one percent over the loan amount to the desperate owners. She found out he was planning to hold it as ransom until she signed over the client to Schaller and Schaller when she became an employee again.

Maddy stood up, and when he did as well she stepped forward and leaned on the desk.

She’d had enough being bullied around and she was taking a stand right now.

“I want that property Shermie and I want it at what you paid for it. If you don’t then I’ll call your wife. I’m sure that she’d be happy to know all of the names of the bimbos that have been your mistress’s over the past five years. And I want my back wages, plus interest.”

It took him no more than a drawn breath to go back to the same man who had kept her under his thumb all those years. “Just who do you think you’re talking to you stupid bitch? I’m not some pussy hungry sap just wait—”

“Talk like that will not endear you to me, Shermie.” She had pinned him against the wall, she wasn’t sure how she’d done it, but there he was. And she hadn’t moved an inch. “I’m finished asking you for anything. I’m going to let you down, I hope, and you’re going to call that nice woman in here and tell her just what I tell you to, understand?”

In for a pound she thought and pinched her fingers together, thinking about his scrawny little neck between them. It worked. She began to play with him, turning him upside down until all the change fell out of his pockets, mussing his hair until it stood on end. She was really having fun, too much she realized a good ten minutes later.

“All right, all right,” he sobbed at her, tears falling down his face. “Please don’t hurt me anymore. I’ll do it, please don’t hurt me anymore.”

When she walked out of his office at twenty minutes after five she had the deed to the property she wanted, a check for her back wages with interest and a job reference. She didn’t know if she’d need the latter. But not knowing what their finances were now that they were a couple, if she’d need to take on another job or not, but it didn’t hurt to cover your bases.

She drove back to the mansion with a very light heart. Grabbing her shopping bags, she went into the house and was met by a very angry looking group of men. Not just angry but they looked positively livid. She smiled at them.

“What?” She looked at all of them, Aaron, Colin, Bradley, Kyle and Duncan. “If this is about the ticket, I assure you I wasn’t speeding. Okay I was speeding, but not as fast as he said I was. Maybe. All right I was going faster than he said. But I was having a good day. The sunroof was open, and the music was too loud, I’ll admit to that much. And why do you have to only go seventy five on the highway anyway? I wasn’t driving stupid. Okay yes I was. One hundred and ten miles per hour is stupid, but it was—”

“One hundred and ten…You were going one hundred and ten miles per hour. Are you nuts? Aren’t you the least bit…What if something had happened? You have to be certifiable that’s what you are. Do you believe this?” Aaron had turned to Sara to ask her and she looked back at Maddy and winked. Maddy grinned back.

“Don’t you dare encourage her” Bradley snarled at his friend. “When Officer Jones called David and told him, then he told me I nearly came after you myself. What were you thinking?”

Bradley ran his hand through his hair, again from the looks of it.

“Would it help you to remember that I am immortal? And it was fun. I don’t have to answer to you, to any of you. You’ll do well to remember that too! Stupid men, and here I was all happy with the news I had.” She tossed down her bags but not before rummaging through them and keeping one of the bags in her hand. “But oh no, there you all go, all macho and stuff, meeting me at the door like I’m some sort of…of…I don’t know. But you ruined it for me. Here, I bought the last property. You all now own all the buildings in the Merchant area.” She shoved the deed into Aaron’s chest. Moving to Bradley she shoved the liquor licenses in his chest. “Here are two liquor licenses for the addresses we discussed. You said I could name one of the bars so it’s called ‘Blood Moon’. I wanted to call it ‘Baying at the Blood Moon’, but it was taken.” She dug into the bag and pulled out a large loaf of French bread and handed it gently to Duncan. “I had to go to a different baker for this, but you said it was one of your favorites.” She stood before Kyle and glared hard at him. “This must have happened before, earlier I mean. I hope you’re happy with yourself.” She rammed the small item into his belly and working not to drop it she stormed from the room.
